The Rebellious Officials and Traitors of the Late Han Dynasty

Chapter 373 Tadun, you are done!

White Wolf Mountain.

Looking at the mountains on both sides, Qin Shou nodded.

"Although this mountain is not high, there is a lot of dry grass on the mountain. The weather is dry. If the Wuhuan people want to break out, this is their only way. If we wait until they enter the mountain and burn this place, I don't know how many enemies will be burned to death."

Ke Bineng's face turned pale when he heard this. This prime minister was a ruthless person. He would use any means to win.

A fire burned down Bailang Mountain, and no one knew how many people would be burned to death. There was no fear of punishment from God. Even Ke Bineng realized that this action was somewhat against the harmony of nature.

"I am willing to lead my troops to garrison White Wolf Mountain, and be ready to burn it down when the time is right."

Xian Yu Fu said immediately.

He knew that since Qin Shou said so, it only meant that the other party had already decided to hold the decisive battle at Bailang Mountain, so he had to prepare himself here.

"it is good."

Qin Shou did not object and immediately ordered the other side to lead his troops to garrison Bailang Mountain and wait for the Wuhuan to withdraw. He believed that Tadun would definitely withdraw.

Tadun would indeed withdraw his troops, at least he has this idea now. Armies from all over the country have gathered in Liucheng, flags are waving outside the city, and war horses are neighing, echoing through the sky, with a magnificent momentum.

At first, he did not take the cavalry outside the city seriously, but as time went on, he suddenly realized that his food and grass were insufficient, and he became a little worried.

Liucheng is really too small. It used to be a border trade place, so how could it have much food and grass? A few days ago, it had the support of Gongsun Kang, plus the food and grass it had stored, so it could barely hold on.

But in the past two days, he felt something was wrong. The food and grass that Gongsun Kang promised to deliver had not been delivered. He didn't know whether he didn't want to send it or the food route had been cut off by the cavalry.

No matter which one it is, it is not a good thing for Tadun.

The cavalry outside the city surrounded the city but did not attack, which made him very angry. Once he launched an attack, he would be repelled by the enemy's powerful bows and crossbows.

"Khan, the enemy reinforcements are coming."

There was a sound of footsteps outside and General Kui Anshi rushed in.

"Let's go and take a look." Tadun had no choice. The Central Plains was vast and rich in resources, with a large population, which made him yearn for it. He wanted to occupy it immediately. Who wouldn't want such a picturesque land?

However, reality gave him a blow. The Central Plains would always belong to the Han people. Even if he occupied Liucheng, the Central Plains was not something he could covet.

Liu Yan, Liu Yu, Gongsun Zan, Yuan Shao and other Han generals, no matter what means they took, whether to win over or to suppress, they never allowed their forces to pass through Youzhou.

Now, with great difficulty, they had managed to intervene in the affairs of Youzhou by leveraging the relationship between the three Yuan brothers, but unexpectedly, the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty personally led his troops to attack.

Thinking of the majestic and powerful army, Tadun retreated to Liucheng after the attack, ready to fight the enemy. After all, the enemy had more difficulty in supplying food and grass than himself.

But he definitely thought that Qin Shou was so difficult to deal with, so he left the main force to guard Liucheng and led a small part of the troops into the grassland.

It caught me off guard.

Fortunately, there is Suli on the grassland. He can only pin his hopes on Suli and wait for the good news that the other party has defeated the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.

However, at this moment, he suddenly heard news that enemy reinforcements were arriving outside, and he suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, so he quickly climbed up the city wall with the help of the generals around him.

As expected, the gate of the cavalry on the opposite side was wide open, and a group of people and horses were coming in the distance, with a large banner at the head with the word "Han" written on it.

The word "Qin".

The flag was familiar; it was the army of Qin Shou, Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty.

But what shocked him even more was the people around Qin Shou, who were dressed like soldiers of a foreign race. This made him feel uneasy. Who were these people on the grassland? How could they be colluding with the Han people? "Tadun, do you know the two khans around me?"

At this time, Qin Shou led his troops to the foot of the city. He saw the other party holding a horsewhip and introducing the two people around him.

Who are these two?

Tadun looked at the two people beside him, a hint of doubt and a hint of fear on his face.

"I am Ke Bineng from Wuhuan."

"I am Budugen, a Wuhuan."

The two men stood out from the crowd and loudly stated their names.

Tadun's face suddenly changed. He was very familiar with the names of these two men. Suli once told him that these were two Xianbei tribes in the central and western parts of the country. They were very powerful and forced Suli to ask him for help.

But how come these two people appeared in front of him and followed behind Qin Shou?

"Tadun, I have defeated Suli. The troops of the two Khans have entered Liaoxi. Wuhuan, except for you, all other tribes have been massacred."

Qin Shou's clear voice instantly reached Tadun's ears, and it was like a bolt from the blue, making him turn pale.

"No way, no way."

Tadun cried out in surprise.

However, the facts are right in front of you, and you can't help but believe it. The two major Xianbei tribes have clearly entered the grassland and even completed the massacre of the Wuhuan tribe.

While they were guarding against the Han army, they forgot about the Xianbei people who were also on the grassland. They were also man-eating wolves. As long as they could get a chance, they would attack the tribes around them and would never miss any opportunity.

"Kebi Neng, Budugen, you two grassland traitors actually colluded with the Han people. You will not have a good end." At this time, Tadun believed what the three said, because such a thing would indeed happen.

"Tadun, the two Khans have turned from darkness to light. If you submit to the court now, I can spare your life." Qin Shou saw the other party's panic-stricken look and immediately knew that his plan had succeeded. The rest depended on when Tadun would escape.

"Don't think about it."

Tadun took out a bow and arrow from the side, drew the bow and shot an arrow, trying to kill Qin Shou. However, it was of no use. The sharp arrow fell a few feet away and could not hurt Qin Shou at all.

"It's weak and not good enough."

Qin Shou shook his head and led Kebinen and others towards the military camp, leaving Tadun barking helplessly on the city wall.

"Meet the Prime Minister."

At the gate, Jia Xu led all the generals in cheering.

"Thank you for your hard work, generals."

"I am willing to serve my lord."

The generals cheered again.

"Enter the camp."

Qin Shou nodded.

Kebineng and Budugen were shocked. They originally thought that those following Qin Shou were elite soldiers, and the other Han soldiers were very ordinary. Now they realized that the soldiers left behind in the Liucheng camp were also elite soldiers, and the murderous aura on the soldiers was difficult to conceal.

Can’t defeat him, can’t defeat him at all!
